About Louis


Bio

I hold Master’s degrees in Experimental Physics and Aerospace Engineering and am currently pursuing a PhD in astrodynamics. My research focuses on guidance, navigation, and control systems for space vehicles. This background allows me to tutor physics, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, classical mechanics, orbital mechanics, and control theory.

I began tutoring informally in college, then served as a graduate teaching assistant, instructing about fifty students per semester...

I hold Master’s degrees in Experimental Physics and Aerospace Engineering and am currently pursuing a PhD in astrodynamics. My research focuses on guidance, navigation, and control systems for space vehicles. This background allows me to tutor physics, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, classical mechanics, orbital mechanics, and control theory.

I began tutoring informally in college, then served as a graduate teaching assistant, instructing about fifty students per semester for two years. I led recitations and labs and held regular office hours, in addition to grading coursework and exams. From these roles, I discovered how much I enjoy helping students succeed in their academic journey.

I do not impose a single tutoring style. Every student learns differently, so I adapt the approach to the person in front of me. I keep several ways to explain the same idea and choose what resonates, whether that means sketching a diagram, walking through a derivation step by step, or demonstrating with an example or simulation. As a teaching assistant, I used this same philosophy and was consistently praised for making challenging material clear and manageable.

Approved Subjects

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I completed graduate-level coursework in mechanical engineering covering dynamics, vibrations, control, solid mechanics, and thermo-fluids, and I apply these tools daily in my robotics projects and astrodynamics research. I am proficient in MATLAB and Python for modeling, simulation, and control design, and I am comfortable with CAD, FEA, and CFD workflows in SolidWorks and ANSYS. I can support undergraduate core courses and early graduate electives.
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I have completed more than two years of advanced quantum mechanics and quantum field theory coursework at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels. I also spent two years in a particle accelerator laboratory conducting nuclear physics research on reaction cross sections, which grounded the formalism in real measurements and statistical analysis. As a graduate teaching assistant, I helped students learn operator methods, angular momentum and spin, perturbation theory, and scattering, emphasizing clear physical intuition and step-by-step derivations.
